...governor sent out to a people must rule for the benefit of the governed and must understand them. Although we take great care in the selection of the men who are to fill the political positions in this country, we send young and inexperienced men out to the Philippines. Lord Cromer was in Egypt for 18 years; we have had four governors of the islands in eight years. The news that we receive from the East is neither complete nor exact. Only the reports that are allowed to be sent are what we get in this country. There...
...them more capable of self-government than the Cubans, and yet we gave the latter practically complete freedom. Unless we do follow this plan they are likely to fight for their liberty, as has happened often before. Thus we first submitted to England and ended by gaining our liberty, although we were then but a small and weak country.

On every ballot now presented there is a long list of men, many of whom are in all probability entirely unknown to the voter. If there are but five men to be elected, the voter is sure to be able to choose more competently. This system has proved successful wherever...
...football prospects for the coming year are far brighter than they were last year at this time, for although several of the best players of the 1908 eleven will be lost by graduation, the greater part of the "H" men will be in College next fall. There will be eligible several good men, who could not play this season on account of academic standing, as well as some good material from the championship Freshman eleven.
